Colour Creations: Bumblebee

Hi!


Thanks for joining me once again for the new week of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we are up to Bumblebee, the first of our new In Colours. It's been around for a little longer than the other new In Colours, as we got access to it with the early release of the Ornate Garden suite. It's what I'd call a dirty yellow - maybe dusty yellow is a nicer description though!

I started this week's card by sponging some Bumblebee ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, making it darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. I then stamped some of the reeds from Friend Like You on either side of the sponging, followed by some dragonflies.

To create the top layer, I die cut an oval window into the cardstock and then embossed it with my Subtle 3DEF. I used the reeds die from the Friendly Silhouettes Dies to crop a piece of Basic Black card, which was adhered to the back of the window. The whole piece was popped up over the sponged piece. The sentiment panel and a couple of popped up dragonflies (thank you Foam Adhesive Sheets!) finished off the front.

I created a similar scene on the inside by sponging and stamping before adhering the die cut over the top. I quite like the look of the dragonflies flitting among the reeds! Hopefully the Bumblebee sky looks a little like a sunset.

Please head on over the Catherine's blog, where you can find the rest of the links for this week's Showcase. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has done with Bumblebee, as it's a colour I haven't really used yet.

Bye for now,

Tina

  9. A really gorgeous card Tina. I think it's the most perfect sunset scene by a lake. The simple use of just two colours is very inspiring. I love this card.

  10. I don't think it's very nice to call Bumblebee a dirty yellow! LOL. I think it's a lovely warm yellow. LOVE what you've done with it, Tina. The sponged effects are stunning.
